Self Healing
The
healing journey is ultimately one of self-healing. The body is a marvelous
self-healing mechanism. It contains the knowledge of how to
function properly and bring itself back into balance. Our job is to learn
to align ourselves with the natural, healing processes of nature. A
healer may help to bring us into alignment, but it is ultimately up to us to
integrate and sustain the results of the healing.
A good
healer will empower you in your own self-healing rather than create a
dependency on their healing work. Being able to reach out and receive help
is crucial to healing, but equally important is the ability to follow through
with good self-care. In the long run, developing and exercising our
ability to self-heal will bring the most lasting and significant change.
What do
we need to be able to self-heal? Listed below are the "Seven
Essentials of Self-Healing".

Seven Essentials of
Self-Healing
1. self-awareness -- including
awareness of our bodies, emotions, thought patterns, and the spiritual
dimension of ourselves
2. knowledge -- including knowledge of our body; the role that
our emotions and beliefs play in the functioning of our bodies; and of ways
to bring greater health to all these levels of our being
3. motivation -- a strong enough desire to have greater health
and well-being to motivate us to take action
4. self-love -- the ability receive and to care for
ourselves with kindness
5. courage -- the courage to move out of our comfort zone and
experience the feelings we have as we change
6. self-authority (or self-responsibility) -- being responsible
for our own decisions regarding our self-care as opposed to relying solely
on the opinion of authorities
7. self-care -- taking practical steps to heal is essential,
but without the first six essentials we won't do this in an effective,
consistent way |
 
Usually we start with essential #7, self-care, putting the cart before the
horse. There are tons of wonderful self-care techniques
available. The challenge is finding which ones will work for your
situation, and actually putting them to use. Without the other six
essentials, significant self-healing cannot really happen. We need to
develop those in order to find the right methods of self-care, use them
consistently and use them in a manner which is truly healing. A good
healer will help you to develop those six essentials. As you become more
established in them, you will grow in your ability for self-care and become more
and more self-sufficient in your healing journey.
The single
most important essential for self-healing is self-love.
Everything else grows out of the ability to regard ourselves with compassion and
treat ourselves with kindness. With all healing techniques, it's not so
much what you do but how you do it that counts. If you eat healthy
foods, but are not enjoying them, your body will not utilize all the nourishment
they contain. Perhaps you are thinking about vitamins, minerals or
calorie count as you eat and are lost in a mental world rather than savoring the
taste and enjoying the sensual experience of eating. Perhaps you've
started stretching, but rather than enjoy the pleasurable sensations in your
body as you stretch, you are all caught up in how far you can go. The
result is that you strain and force your body rather than nurturing it.
Are your self-care endeavors fear-based? Are you straining or forcing
yourself in some way? Or are you genuinely enjoying your self-care
activities as you feel yourself nurturing your body, mind and spirit?
Above all, self-care has to be done gently, with love.
